Specifying port in Remote Desktop Client Version 2.0

Hi,
I have a windows PC behind a router that I am trying to remote desktop to from my iMac. I am using the remote desktop client v2.o which I have downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_RDC&fid=803F9438-8DF3-4 90F-92C6-0E0F92787DB8#viewer
As I am port forwarding on the router to the PC's private IP address, I need to be able to hit port 4000 on the router. When I type in the <hostname>:4000 on the iMac's remote desktop client, it does not like the port number. Would anyone know how I can establish a connection to a port other than 3389 using the Remote Desktop Client from my iMac?
Thanks in advance.

Hello BH,
Thank you for replying and posting the link you did. I would not like to change the listening port on the server side. From the remote desktop client, I would like to change the port that it makes a connection to. By default, if you type in a hostname, the client connects to port 3389. I would like it to establish a connection with port 4000 of the server.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations on how to do this. Thanks.

  • How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version?

    How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version in Lion?  I'm asking because in starting up a mid 2011 MacBook Air, I ran Software Update, which determined that Remote Desktop Client version 3.5.1 was available.  I wanted to find what the existing version (older than 3.5.1) that came with Lion was, but coudn't find it.
    Thanks.

    Get Info on:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    or if you have Apple Remote Desktop on an administrator system, you can see the workstation client versions by control-clicking in the header in the computer list and selecting to show the ARD version column.
    Regards.

  • Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

    Hi All,
    I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
    but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
    . So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
    Can someone help how to fix this please?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
    Any ideas?

  • Easy print not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1

    Easy print is not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1 . Printers dont get redirected when you connect to the terminal server. The server we are connecting to has Windows 2008 server.  On 32 bit Windows
    7 and windows XP clients Easy print is working fine and printers get redirected in terminal server.

    I am having the exact same problem. Windows 7 works fine, but 8.1 will not redirect printers. Others said to check local policy terminal services settings and my setting are all set as they should.
    I think Windows 8.1 is not telling the terminal server what printers it has.

  • IOS Remote Desktop Client Logon Issue Prompts to Logon 3 Times with RDGW

    I have an issue when connecting from the Remote Desktop client iOS on multiple iPads/users.
    First a little background: We have an RDS Web Access / RDS Gateway (2012 R2) setup and properly configured. We can logon using it just fine from the Mac OS version of the app, Android version of the app, or from a Windows PC. When we try to
    connect via the iOS app we get the prompt to logon 3 times. Due to security reasons, we do not want them to store their credentials on the iPads, which is the only method I have found to eliminate the triple password entry. It only prompts once on the Mac
    OS version, Android version or from a Windows PC.
    The password isn't being entered incorrectly and the servers are not registering any Audit Failures for the logon attempts. Can you assist?
    Additionally I would like to recommend the addition of a feature to be able to setup remote resources but prompt for the password on app launch for security reasons. That way they would have to enter it once but then they could access any resources needed.
    Thanks,
    Nate L

    like it tries to connect to the host directly...which it shouldn't?
    Then in the second attempt I see it trying to go to http://ExternalRDSGatewayHostName:443/remoteDesktopGateway/ which again it shouldn't be doing because that URL (the remoteDesktopGateway) is not part of the RDSGW or RDSWA 2012 R2 IIS
    config or am I missing something? It should be going to Rpc or RDWeb right? or do I need to allow that path through too?
    Thanks,

  • Remote desktop client software not active

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm a bit bewildered by this errormessage (and I couldn't get a hit when I searched for it) when I try to drag a file from the xserv to the macbook pro desktop, remote desktop client software not active.
    The macbook has the ard server and connects to the xserv ppc. It connects over the internet.
    The xserv is behind a iptables fw and I have forwarded 3283 tcp/udp plus 5900 udp/tcp to the server. Have I forgotten a port ?
    I've read through http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm as well as http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070302234400232&query=vnc%2Bsimpl e%2Bset%2Bup
    and tried to find out more from the discsussions here.
    The macbook pro sits behind an airport which is hooked into the dsl modem. Do I need to configure port forward in the airport as well.
    Connecting to the xserv and working on it works great but the copy file transfer fails.

    Hi there I took new try at this and this is what finally solved it for me.
    The earlier answer I got was very good advise but I had already done that bit, actually I might have overdone it a bit I had checked all the boxes under the useraccount on sharing.
    Back to business.
    Firewalling. I realised I need to open and portforward at both locations and remeber it's booth tcp and udp.
    So at the xserve location I needed to forward 3283 and 5900 both tcp and udp from outside to the IPnumber of the xserve.
    At home with my macbook I needed to do the same.
    However this did not solve it, I had forgotten one software on the macbook. On the xserve I had installed ARD upgraded it to 3.1 AND installed the upgrade for ARD 3.1 client. The client part I had forgotten at home. So once my ARD and ARD client software matched I could connect to the xserve and drag and drop files booth ways.
    ARD wasn't running on the xserve I just had it installed along with the client software.
    So portforwarding in firewalls and the same software and versions in all locations seems to have solved it for me.
    A small note enabling/disabling the firewall in macbookpro did nothing for me since when enabled ARD rules were in place and active so it still worked.
    I hope I made some sense.

  • Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days.

    Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days". This is also the case with HP Printer Software update 3.0 and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.03. Clicking the "update" button for these doesn't appear to install the software, but lists it in the "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days" without removing it from the Software Update queue.

    Thank you. I tried that and even gave it a few days to do its thing, but I still get the same results. Remote Desktop, HP Printer, Digital Camera all still appear in "Available Updates", but the same versions appear under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days". BTW, I had to manually install the Safari 8.0.4 update because it also wasn't updating.

  • Remote Desktop Client 8.1.3 Display Issue

    We're running Microsoft Remote Desktop 2012R2 services including a Gateway/Connection Broker/Licensing server and  Remote Desktop Session Hosts servers.  Our clients include Windows systems, iPads and iPhones.
    Since the upgrade to Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for IOS 8.1.3 (which fixed our gateway connection issues using the previous 8.1.x IOS clients), we're still unable to use our iPads with a published application that runs a time clock to check
    children in/out of daycare centers.
    When launching the published application, the display does not scale to full screen.  A portion of the screen contains a black bar around the bottom and to the right of the window.  The touch control needed is hidden by
    the black bar.  This issue did not exist in clients prior to 8.1.x nor does it exist in Windows clients.
    Using the Pan Control does not resolve the issue.  If you activate the Pan control, the application is so magnified that you only see about 1/4th of the upper left of the screen.  Moving the window around or pinch to zoom in/out does not resolve
    the issue.
    Note that we have also published Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Reader, Calculator and network share folders.  None of these apps experience the issue with a black bar hiding a portion of the application window.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Dharmesh - Yes, we did reinstall the RD 8.1.3 IOS client on our iPads a few times.  And to answer your question, we are using a childcare software from the following company:
    http://www.procaresoftware.com/
    Microsoft Office 2010 as a published application appears to be functioning correctly with the iPads, although it hasn't been extensively tested.  Most of our remote desktop Office users are on Windows 7 systems.
    I've notified the Procare Software technical support team of this iPad issue and they forwarded the information on to their developers.  They are releasing an updated version of their software some time in the next week.  They have enhanced
    the resizing / rotation support for tablets in the next upgrade release, but are unsure whether our iPad display issue will be resolved. 
    If the issue is not resolved by the upgrade, they suggest we seek a resolution from Microsoft.  In the meantime, Procare stated that I could share this information with you.  They're also copied on this forum to keep up with your comments. 
    Note:  After we install the future upgrade of Procare Software, I'll report back here with the results.
    Regards.

  • RD Gateway issue from Mac Remote Desktop client - 503 RPC Error: c0021012

    I have an employee who is able to use the Mac Remote Desktop client to connect to her office PC via RD Gateway, but after a short time she consistently has her connection dropped with a
    503 RPC Error: c0021012.  I've researched this a little and apparently it refers to an expected shutdown condition (RPC_P_CONNECTION_SHUTDOWN) rather than a true RPC "exception".  Also, the error almost always occurs exactly
    10 minutes after the connection is established, so I'm wondering if a timeout is occurring due to a heartbeat/keepalive not getting through, the expiration of a token or credential, or something similar(?).  Any help would be appreciated, here's a section

  • Downgrade Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for Mac

    Is there a way to downgrade to a previous version of the microsoft remote desktop client for mac? We are experiencing issues with one of our published remote apps (regarding window focus i.e. which window of the open application is at the front of the
    users screen) since upgrading to 8.0.9. This application was OK in 8.0.5. Can we revert to an older version?

    We are also experiencing similar issues regarding window sizes and display settings with our remote resources, since upgrading. We are using remote desktop application for iPhone/iPad. Upon opening of our Remote App, although we have set the command-line
    argument to open to full screen, we see the application resizing 3 times before it finally opens - and it does not open in full screen. Please assist.

  • Since the Remote desktop client update 3.8.2 V1.1 my Indesign CS4 crashes when I try to print. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Problem with remote desktop client update

    I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
    I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
    I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live.  I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
    I found these ports in another discussion
    TCP and UDP port 3283
    TCP and UDP port 5900.  (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
    port 22
    This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
    TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
    Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
    Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
    This severely hurt system performance.
    I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
    While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
    On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time".  ;-)

  • I am having trouble installing and using remote desktop client and admin on the same imac.  I need help?

    Can you give me a step by step on getting the client and the admin part of remote desktop to work?  I am new to this and I need for remote desktop to work to install the Faronics Deepfreeze enterprise console on the new imac in office.  The OSx version is 10.8.3  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Also, when I go to install the admin, it says that the remote desktop client is not updated and I cant get mac app store to show any updates.  May be doing something wrong.

    This is what I usualy do to setup ARDclient on a client computer.
    on the client computer
    go to menu bar (white bar at top of the screen)
    click on the apple menu
    chose system preferences
    click show all button
    click Users & Groups
    click the lock to unlock
    click + to create a new account
    chose new account: type "administrator"
    name the user some thing applicable like "ARDuser"
    set a secure password
    click create account
    click show all button
    click sharing
    set the computer name to some thing descritpive that identifies the computer
    check remote login
    click on remote login
    set allow access for: "only these users"
    click the +
    chose the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check remote management
    click on remote management
    set allow access to "only these users"
    click the +
    select the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check: observe, control, genereate reports, open & quite applications, delete and replace items, start text chat or send messages, restart & shutdown, copy items
    click ok
    click the lock to lock system preferences
    click show all
    quite system preferences
    At this point you should be able to connect to the client using Apple Remote Desktop using the ARDuser setup above. Make sure the client and the ARD computer are on the same network the same way. IE both on ethernet or both on wifi. On the same internet conenction, if your were trying to conenct to a client over the internet there is more involved. 
    on the ard computer:
    open apple remote desktop
    from the left column select discover
    make sure the list is set to bonjour
    the client computer should show up on the list, with the name set above
    select the client from the list
    click control
    you will be prompted for the user/pass to log into the computer. that's the ARDuser setup in the steps above.

  • Remote Desktop Client for Mac and SSO

    Hi. 
    We have RDS Deployment (Windows Server 2012 R2) with RD Connection Brokers, RD Session Hosts and Web Access.
    Windows clients log on without any issues, credentials must be entered only once (Single Sign On).
    But Mac clients must enter their credentials twice (on CB and SH).
    Does Remote Desktop Client for Mac support SSO and if it does, what special settings are required?
    Mac users use Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.13.

    Sorry, I have missed important detail. This problem appears when I open .rdp files.
    Really, if I create connection and save my credentials, I will not enter credentials. But in this case I can't specify Collection
    (loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.SomeCollection - parameter in .rpd file).
    In my case, I open .rdp file, connect to RD Connection Broker, log in to RD CB, RD CB redirects me to RD
    Session Host, I log in to RD SH (enter credential second time) and now I connect. In this chain could be a RD Gateway.
    When I connect to the same farm with the same .rdp file from Windows client, I have enter credential only once (SSO works).
    So my question: Does  Remote
    Desktop Client for Mac support SSO? I know that SSO require CredSSP, is it implemented in Client for Mac?

  • TS2072 Remote Desktop Client for MS Windows Server 2003

    I need to be able to access my work server to obtain information form our Windows 2003 Server. We have our product prices and other information on servers and today I use the remote desktop client that comes with Windows 7. I was hoping to find a suitable solution to allow me to use my macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4 Software. Does anyone know how to use OSX to make a remote desktop connection as you would through windows 7. I've seen CoRD and Microsoft did have a version but it's for older versions of OSX. I could run W7 but then I would have to purcase another copy and VM if I decided to run it virtual.
    Thanks

    This is not an Apple Remote Desktop issue  - ARD is Apple's software for managing networked Macs - but CoRD and Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac should both work with Windows 2003 and both work on Mac OS X 10.7; I have used both on my systems. iTap Mobile RDP is another option, and the one I use daily since I've found it to be faster than either CoRD or Microsoft RDC, though iTap is not free.
    Regards.
